On a normal site that's Cloudflare'd, if there is a login form, your password will be visible in plaintext as the data is decrypted by Cloudflare since their reverse-proxying service is effectively a MitM. This poses a minor OpSec issue if your threat model includes Cloudflare as a threat actor. But, what's cool is if the site has a Nostr login, you don't need to worry about this type of possible attack vector. Nostr is the future of the interoperable and open web.

Cloudflare is increasingly an internet central chokepoint. If NSA is not grabbing data through it already they very soon will be. They love these.

Yes, I think I read something like 19% of the whole internet is routed through Cloudflare

my working assumption is that companies like this don't grow organically they are given assistance by our friends over at the NSA and become yet another front for them
